The --date=<when> parameter is read by determine_author_info() and then parse_force_date(), both in builtin/commit.c. This calls parse_date(), which first calls (and fails) parse_date_basic() when it is not a strict timestamp. "now", "4.days.ago", etc. are then passed to approxidate_careful() which in turn calls approxidate_str(). Note that the approxidate formats do not usually spell out the TZ offset. The result is turned into "@<numseconds>" by parse_force_date(). The string "@<numseconds>" without TZ offset is re-interpreted by parse_date() called by fmt_ident(); the last function prepares the author ident line "Name <email> <numseconds> <offset>". The --date=<when> does not force committer information, which goes through the usual codepath of grabbing the "current" time. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
